I (By Telegrsflh.—Own Cooest»»aaant.) lIASTEitTON, this ity. The contest fee tee mlddle-Welgbl chain plnnsblp ut New Zealand between Dsrnc' Ireland, of WnHiawa, Champion, middle welt-hi, and Deanr Mnrphy, champion weltsi weight of Now Zelilsod, prodnced the fluest exhibition of boxing scco In Mastcrton slnci the Matbews-Pranolß contest over twent* years ago. Irctauif was more Df a li.-l.ie: fl.ao boxer, hnt Mnrphy excelled In sclen th'c boxing. His work waa clean and clnver, m:-i he hammered away with bis left In a manner wbieb nonplussed Ireland. Tbe latter was after a knock-out all 'the time and made some bits which bad they connected would have settled the contest early, fmt Murphy was tun quick on bis feet and side. stepped and dnrked wltlt nine. rity, and Ireland's blaws only made holes iv the air. Murphy, though giving awaj tllb In-weight, was altogether 100 clever tot tbe champion, anil bad him In trouble In th< latter stages of ithc . contest, which wai limited tn fifteen rouxts. Ireland bad th< best of the first tiro rounds, but after tha| Mnrphy held tbe upper hand and ran out an easy winner on points. Mnrphy was almosi as fresh at the flnll'h as at the start, whll« his opponcm. thouah he looked the bcttet traltied of flic two, teas fccllns the effects ol tilt, contest In the li'ttcr stages. The contest was ti clean one and fnufrbt In the best spirit, liotb. fisxcrs eitendln*; little conrtcsies to o-arh. ether. Competent jii.ice-* who have witnessed I lie prloclpal contests for years irnat all state that-It was tbe most scientific cxlilblUmi of boxing given for some considerable time. Already one challenge bas been *e*t IrK to Ihe new champion, and the next contest for the mldiilc--.v.-liu: championship will assuredly take place at Manterton. The takings at the match came to £110.
